Neither Jeff or Luke are the founders of smokeless muzzleloaders. Richard Franklin was building smokeless muzzleloaders long before anyone. Jeff is a great custom rifle builder and started building smokeless muzzleloaders after learning of Richard Franklins design. The weak link of Franklins guns were the ignition and Jeff designed his own ignition system which is the best on the market. Jeff copied just about everything else from Franklin. Even his first load/bullet combo was straight from Franklin 78gr. of IMR 4198 and a Parker 278gr BE bullet. Jeff builds the finest guns and makes most of the parts himself in his shop. Luke got his start copying guys like Dave D and Edge on the Dougs message board.
Are you building all the ignition yourself or buying it from Luke?
Can't really see but looks Ike a Hankins system. Great job Eric. Looks fantastic.
What brand barrel are you using ?
Everyone thinks Luke is the founder of the smokeless mzz. Just can't get over that. When you say Jeff Hankins most say who.. or he makes junk lol..
